Lyrics
Up a seashell mountain Across a primrose sea To a jungle fountain High up in a tree Then down a primrose mountain Across a seashell sea To a land of happy people Just and kind and bold and free To Eldorado, to Eldorado They bathe each dawn in a golden lake Emeralds hang upon the vine All is there for all to take Food and God and books and wine They have no words for fear and greed For lies and war, revenge and rage They sing and dance and think and read They live in peace and die of age In Eldorado, in Eldorado They gavе me home, they callеd me friend They taught me how to live in grace Seasons pa**ed without an end In that sweet and blessed place But I grew sad and could not stay Without my love my heart grew cold So they sadly sent me on my way With gracious gifts of gems and gold From Eldorado, from Eldorado "Good-bye," they said, "We pray you May safely cross the sea" "Go," they said, "And may you Find your bride to be" Then past the jungle fountain Along a silver shore I've come by sea and mountain To be with my love once more From Eldorado, from Eldorado, from Eldorado To be with my love once more
